Series symbol

This article lists the logos of every universe that appears in the Smash series. For information about the Smash series logo specifically, see Super Smash Bros. logo.

For characters, it is displayed next to a character's damage meter (the same color as the character), as well as on the Victory Screen. For stages, it's visible on the Stage Selection screen. This is a list of all the symbols, along with a short explanation of what they are and where they come from within their game universes, and a picture.
